Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Followinghttp://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/M...bit/README.txt
my installation of the MLED seemed to go smoothly, and everything works well except one item: The XFCE desktop is not customized at all. It is the standard vanilla XFCE.
The MLED packages are all there, but there is no GUI customization.

Am I mistaken to have assumed MLED makes customizations to XFCE? Looking around onhttp://www.kikinovak.net/index.php?page=desktop-14-0
there is actually no specific mention of XFCE being customized on the surface. So, is the end-user meant to make the customizations, such as the cairo dock and etc. as seen in the above webpage?

At any rate, thank you kiki for a really cool customization (of the guts, at least

You seem to have found the answer by yourself. The user-settings-xfce package contains the default configuration for your user, e. g. stuff to be put in /etc/skel. So you have to install this package (and preferably all the others) before adding the user. If you can't do that, just manually put the stuff from /etc/skel/.config in your users' home directory.

And BTW, there's no Cairo Dock in MLED. This is Xfce's standard panel with some heavy tweaking and transparency enabled.
